CLASS STRUGGLES IN THE FIELD OF MEMORY

Abstract

The present article aims to evidence the importance of the struggles between social classes within the social complex of memory, seeking to explore its consequences for the field of consciousness and class struggles in the present time. It seeks to demonstrate, above all, that the way social beings remember and appropriate the past is decisive for the materialization of their ethical social behavior in the world. According to this perspective, the way past events are remembered should be a constant concern of social classes in the present time. For this reason, the class struggle in the field of memory, the dispute processed by social classes about the form and content to be remembered, becomes, every day, more substantial, since the affirmation or denial of this system of social relations also passes through the way these relations are remembered and understood.
